# The wise men will be ashamed
|
|
|
|
This is irony because the wise men are normally honored for their wisdom. Alternate translation: "Those men who think they are wise will feel ashamed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-irony]])

# dismayed
|
|
|
|
terrified or shattered
|
|
|
|
# Behold!
|
|
|
|
"Pay attention!"
|
|
|
|
# so what use is their wisdom?
|
|
|
|
This question expects a negative answer and is intended to make the hearers think about how little what they consider wisdom is really worth when they reject Yahweh's word. Alternate translation: "so what they think is wise does not do them any good." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
